ENGLISH HERITAGE HAS CHANGED

At the start of April 2015, English Heritage separated into two different bodies. A new charity retaining the name English Heritage now looks after the National Heritage Collection - the stone circles, great castles and abbeys, historic houses and all the other unique sites that were in English Heritage's direct care.

As an independent charity, English Heritage will now be able to grow with greater freedom and to raise more money to conserve and present England's finest historic sites. The new charity will continue to receive resource Grant-in-Aid from the Government on a declining basis until 2022/23 when it will become fully self-funding.

A newly named organisation called Historic England continues the statutory role of giving expert, constructive advice to owners, local authorities and the public, and championing the wider historic environment.

CARING FOR THE NATIONAL HERITAGE COLLECTION

The Government awarded £80m towards safeguarding and improving the historic properties in our care. This investment will fund vital conservation work and see new presentation and interpretation at our sites.

It will mean more care for those places where significant moments in England's history happened and will help English Heritage to bring the story of England to life better than ever before.
